Behind the scenes at one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers

Today, we’re proud to announce that TELUS has once again been named as one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers, being recognized as a leading organization for creating inclusive workplaces for employees from diverse groups.

A fundamental belief at TELUS is that we create innovation through diversity of thought and we believe that diversity is beautiful. Our company is filled with outstanding individuals from different backgrounds. For more than two years on our blog we’ve been featuring our colleagues in a series called “Names to Know” where they share a little bit about their personal experience at TELUS. If you haven’t had the opportunity to read about their experiences you can check them out here:

“I’ve worked with many amazing, talented, ambitious and supportive people. I’ve found some of my closest friends at TELUS and there’s definitely a good balance of getting work done and having fun.” – Amanda Wong,Marketing Manager and National Chair for the Diversity & Inclusiveness Council.

“Don’t be afraid to challenge the status quo. If you work online, you know that nothing stays the same for long. You really need to show that you’re creative and forward thinking.” – Caitlin Hall, Social & Media Relations

“I think having the freedom and autonomy to experiment with projects like this is a major benefit for TELUS team members. It really allows us to find creative new solutions and improve existing approaches.” – Greg Gabel, Product Marketing

“I have the best job at TELUS! Every day I work with the TELUS team to empower youth to create positive social change in the communities where we live, work and serve.” Jennifer Kirner, Community Investment

You should teach them customer service as my son was trying to return a phone as he is on my account. The Telus store said no I have to be there even after a note was put on my file.. as a DM in central Alberta I don’t have the luxury of time right now. But Telus is making me drive to Edmonton to return this phone.. I can’t believe people are treated this way even after I called your call centre for help!!
